Best Data Science Career Guide ever
September 18, 2023 by CarlynC (TX, US)
“I write about data science training programs and careers and this is the very best resource I've found for introducing people to the field. If I wanted to work in data science rather than just write about it, this the kind of book I'd give to family and friends and tell them to read pages 3-5 to better understand my new direction. Then I'd keep it handy for each step of my journey, even leaving a job or working my way up the ladder.”

This felt like the best purchase route for what I wanted.

I could buy the print book (which I have marked up) and immediately get access to the e-book which I began reading while awaiting delivery of the hard copy.
